‘The commonwealth chipped in $6 million for the project’
disgusting abuse, of people and language:

BENEZETTE, Pa. – A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the official opening Wednesday for a north-central Pennsylvania visitors center the state hopes becomes a prime destination for viewing elk.
The Elk Country Visitors Center in Benezette was built through a partnership between the state and the Keystone Elk Country Alliance. The commonwealth chipped in $6 million for the project, with another $6 million from private funding.
Leaders hope the center becomes a hub for viewing the one of the Northeast’s largest elk herds. Economic development officials hope that brings in dollars for a rural part of the state that has long struggled financially.
Fall is mating season for elk and considered a good time for tourists who want to catch glimpses of the massive animals.
official crime gangs fund nothing. they contribute nothing. they create no wealth. they do not “chip in”.
i explained to a “secret service agent” recently that his “hey, i pay taxes too” protest was bullshit. no official parasite suffers the theft known as taxation, because the money used is taxes, i.e., stolen wealth. in their case it’s merely a number fiddle — an adjustment for net booty. comparing this fiddle to the real theft of created wealth is offensive and propagandistic. rational humans are appalled by such regular hooey as this and the preposterous “Leaders” talk — all from the state’s symbiotic mouthpiece, the american press.
[…] It might be objected that, after all, a politician who urges higher taxes is not only imposing suffering on other people; he himself as a taxpayer will also have to bear the same deprivations as other citizens. Isn’t there, then, a kind of nobility, even if misguided, in his plea for “belt-tightening” common sacrifice?
To meet this question, we must realize a vital truth that has long remained discreetly veiled to the tax-burdened citizenry. And that is: contrary to carefully instilled myth, politicians and bureaucrats pay no taxes. Take, for example, a politician who receives a salary of, say, $80,000; assume he duly files his income tax return, and pays $20,000. We must realize that he does not in reality pay $20,000 in taxes; instead, he is simply a net tax-receiver of $60,000. The notion that he pays taxes is simply an accounting fiction, designed to bamboozle the citizenry into believing that he and the rest of us are on the same moral and financial footing before the law. He pays nothing; he simply is extracting $60,000 per annum from our pockets. The only virtue of United Nations’ employees is that they are frankly and openly exempt from all taxes levied by any nation-state–which simply makes their position the same as other national bureaucrats, except uncamouflaged and unadorned.
The same principle, too, applies to sales or property or any other tax. Bureaucrats and politicians do not pay them; they are simply subtracted from the net transfer to themselves from the body of taxpayers. […]
